Julien Gasc - Maracabela ( From "L'Appel de la forêt")

"Soft Dance" is the second single from the 'Person' album out on 3/6!

About the 'Person' LP by P.E.

Person is the debut from NYC's P.E., a band born of the city's art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising Veronica Torres, Jonathan Campolo, and Benjamin Jaffe (all of the beloved and freshly defunct Pill) alongside Jonathan Schenke and Robert Jones of the electronic/art-rock favorite Eaters, P.E. features some of NYC's most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process. 

The resulting LP displays the group’s collective experience writing memorable songs, matched with a dedication to tearing them apart at the seams. Recorded at Schenke's Studio Windows, Person holds the spark of P.E.'s early improvisations in its clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colorful dystopian poetry. The group's natural language results in a sonic lexicon reflecting the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly, and fun. Sold and packaged with a tender tone, this is music for fully-formed persons aware of their ideological discrepancies. Turn on the human music of the 21st century.

“Soft Dance” Lyrics

A soft dance
-Night drive alone with you-
Laughing our heads off.

Touch my face and I'll sing you a song,
though your heart may be broken.

We dance to forget out heads,
We dance to lose our heads.

We are just passing through...
We are just passing through.

A soft dance
-I’d rather contemplate abstract thoughts with you - 
And I'm also good with color. 

A soft dance
We dance to lose our heads,
We dance to forget our heads

Ohhh and don't forget to have a good time!
Laughing our heads off!
Tripping our heads off!

“City Vocabulary” is Hause Plants’ first single. 

With fast-paced drums, fuzzy guitars and a reverb-drenched atmosphere, the vocals deliver a delicate performance that snapshots a long distance relationship through the lens of a reckless youth.

Lyrics:
open up your windows, 
tell me what you see
I won’t try to bring me down this time you’re not around

we could take some pictures
draw them on our skin
I can see me falling into the nothing of these streets

feels like we’re heading backwards
simply out of time
I don’t know if you’re coming with me to see the clouds

shaped like figures falling
dancing in the sky
is it time to change the pace of people passing by?

I’ll take my time here
off to nowhere, lost in thoughts

tell me how are you spending your days?
when the words so real, you’re gonna break them

On April 3, 2020, Toronto’s Scott Hardware will be releasing Engel, his second full-length album, and first on Telephone Explosion Records. It will mark the end of a three-year process of writing, recording and letting down his guard (for better or worse.)

His last album, 2016’s Mutate, Repeat, Infinity, was the culmination of a years-long obsession with the HIV/AIDS crisis and how it was shaped by capitalism. Hardware’s early years after coming out were shaped by the courage of people close to him who were dealing with difficult diagnoses. 
 
“Looking at these situations from a macro/societal lens
must have been the only way I could process and share
those years of my life and my loved ones’ lives with an
audience” Hardware recalls. “From a writing and
production standpoint, I was trying to re-imagine various
eras of dance music and sound as urgent and vital as they would have in their heyday of the ‘80s and ‘90s.” 

These are artists who visualize monsters and demons hiding in plain sight. Like singing to dead queer ancestors on Mutate, Repeat, Infinity, Harwood is trying to make sense of another queer cross-to-bear, this time coming from within. The image is gory and difficult, not unlike the process of digging shame from one’s spirit. Engel, in its preoccupation with angels, the afterlife and private thoughts holds hands with the image.

This project is funded in part by FACTOR, the Government of Canada and Canada’s private radio broadcasters. Ce projet est financé en partie par FACTOR, le gouvernement du Canada et les radiodiffuseurs privés du Canada. www.canada.ca

Diabolik

Time can put you in the dark, you refuse to see
Charlie takes you to the mark, it’s not where you want to be

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy
Walking on my own

Come home
Find you
On the 
Bathroom floor
You won’t ever see the light
You said everything’s alright

I feel it too
I’ve had enough of it
Try to tiptoe
Round the fire
It’s on

You are now the enemy 
Walking on my own again
Something says you’re dead to me
Walking on my own

Ian Martin's Neo Modernist is an exercise in introspection, where things aren't always rosy. Confronting your anxieties and fears may not be pleasant but sometimes necessary to escape deterioration. Ian Martin's music channels these feelings, and gives beauty to something that expressed in words can seem depressing. One of Rotterdam's best kept secrets comes through with maximum emotion and prowess. Take notice.

Following its premiere on BBC 6 Music by Mary Anne Hobbs, Douglas Dare shares the playful new single 'The Joy In Sarah's Eyes', taken from his forthcoming album 'Milkteeth'. 

Pre-order 'Milkteeth' on LP/CD/DL: https://idol.lnk.to/milkteeth

Drawing on a unique gift for writing songs that encapsulate and explore the innocence and simplicity of childhood, ‘The Joy In Sarah’s Eyes’ showcases Douglas’ honest and soul bearing reflection of his formative years. Composed using the autoharp – a new discovery for the multi-instrumentalist – the track draws on indie and folk influences resulting in a Jeff Buckley-esque ballad for a new generation.

Speaking on the track, Douglas explains: “I realise now that Sarah is the child in me; she is the innocent and pure joy that we all have as children that often is lost with age. Remembering this joy and keeping it with you can literally keep you alive, keep you vital.”

Released on February 21, 'Milkteeth' is Douglas' most stripped back album to date. Produced by Mike Lindsay — founding member of Tunng and one half of LUMP with Laura Marling — 'Milkteeth' sees Douglas become confident and comfortable enough with his own identity to reflect on both the joys and pains of youth. In doing so, he has established himself as a serious 21st century singer-songwriter with an enduring lyrical poise and elegant minimalist sound.

Marking his arrival in 2014 with the release of his acclaimed debut 'Whelm' and establishing his musical dexterity on the much darker follow up 'Aforger' in 2016, Dare’s star keeps growing. In 2017 he was asked to contribute a re-interpretation of 'Dance Me to the End of Love' to the Leonard Cohen exhibition 'A Crack in Everything' at the Contemporary Art Museum of Montréal, currently showing at The Jewish Museum in New York before opening at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in September 2020. He was invited by Robert Smith to perform at his Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre in 2018, followed by the David Lynch-curated Manchester International Festival alongside Anna Calvi in 2019.

Something Better
2020

////////////////

I don’t really know
Whether five years ago
We thought this out
Time turns to doubt
And I’m ever down

Monumental or middling?
Will we read between the lines? 
Have you heard this old song before?
Should we be happy or resigned?
Try to peek inside a critic’s mind?
Or thank you for giving us the time?

I don’t really know
If in five years or so
We’ll figure out
Time turns to doubt
And I’m ever down

Where do we go from here
(Some one-star review)
Where do we go from here
(Start on something new)
